THE ARAL SEA
(Problems and Ways of Solving them)
Scientists say that over the past 30 years volume of water in the Aral Sea has dropped by 60 per cent and its area by a third. The depth of the shallow Aral has declined by 13 meters.
Muinak and the other ports have found themselves dozens of kilometers away from the sea. The salt content has increased by 150 per cent. The fish failed to adjust to a dramatic change and died.
The sea is drying up. Many large bays are no longer there: the islands in the southern and eastern, most shallow, parts of the Aral Sea are now peninsulas or parts of mainland. It is now obvious to specialists that time is near when sea will turn into a couple of small lakes.
What is the cause of this ecological catastrophe? The Aral Sea is relatively young. It appear nearly 9.000 years ago at the crossroads of two great Asian rivers the Amu Darya and the Syr Darya. Initially it was a fresh water reservoir, it grew salty over the years as the surface of the lake became a giant evaporation tank under the burning sun. it is not the natural conditions that are to blame for the present salination and drying up of the Aral Sea. If people hadn’t begun such rapid economic activity in region over the decades they wouldn’t have broken the ecological equilibrium. The thing is that the Amu Darya and the Syr Darya are mainly emptying into cotton fields nowadays.
It is obvious now that the problem of the Aral Sea is the problem of a vast area. If people don’t save the Aral Sea they will lose millions of hectares of soil as each year the wind raises hundreds tons of salt from what once was the sea bottom and carries it towards the fields.
Republican committees to save the Aral Sea are at work now. A department of the State Bank in Tashkent has opened a special account for people to send their donations to save the Aral Sea.
